No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
OK, 3.8g per gallon of tartaric acid will adjust TA by .1%, or 1g/L. When figuring how many gallons you have, are you using the total amount of the must, or estimating your liquid content only? I have nearly 12 gallons of must, but will have much less liquid. Obviously, there is a huge potential impact on the amount of acid I'd add, depending on how I'm measuring the "gallons".
I've been told to only add half of the calculated amount and then retest before adding more, and I think that's good advice - maybe for the reason I'm asking this question. Thanks all!
